Lemon Honey Tofu Sandwiches

Tofu is baked in lemon and honey and then placed on ciabatta rolls and topped with romaine lettuce, avocado, and tomato in this recipe. Modifications for a vegan-friendly version are mentioned below in the notes.

Instructions

In a bowl, stir honey, lemon juice, and garlic. Place tofu in a baking dish and spoon honey mixture over tofu.

Bake tofu at 475 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes.

Spread mayo onto bottom halves of rolls and place 2 slices of tofu side-by-side over mayo. Top with lettuce, tomato, avocado, and the top halves of the rolls.

Notes

Vegetarian

This sandwich is loaded with nutrients, but also higher than most of my recipes in calories and carbs. If you’re watching your weight, eat a half sandwich with a salad.

I found sliced red onions are an excellent addition to this sandwich. Experiment with other toppings if you have them on hand.

Vegans: use Bee Free Honee or agave nectar in place of traditional honey. Try a vegan mayo, such as Earth Balance mayo or Vegenaise, in place of egg-based mayo.
